Security Is Not a Gate. It Is an Architecture Property.

Security is treated as a gate at the end of delivery. It should be an architecture property designed into three distinct boundaries. Here is the model that fixes the friction between security and delivery.

...at the end of delivery — creating friction, delays, and a false sense of safety — instead of being designed into the architecture as a structural property Key insight: Security decisions belong at the...
